NEW YORK'S TORNADO.
A Heavy Wind Storm sweeps Over the
Metropolis-Dsmage Done.

Heavy Wind Storm sweeps Over the
Metropolis-Dsmage Done.
New YORK, July II. The air was very
close this morning. Towards noon heavy
clouds filed the sky. Without any warn
ing terrible wind storm set in. Thou
sands OF people out for n days pleasure were
caught in the wild rush OF the elements.
Branches of trees were broken, windows,
shutters and signs were wTenched from
their fastenings, causing in some cases in
juries to pedestrians. Trees were torn up
by the roots in Central Park and at the
battery, the wooden fence around
Castle Garden, south side, WAS blown
down. On Sixth avenue two trees
were torn up by the roots and
carried some distance. Telegraph
and telephone wires in the city were blown
down, causing much delay in the trans
mission of messages. Along the river
front and the bay the storm ragged with
great fury. Hundreds of sail boats and
other small craft were ont at the time.
Their occupants experienced much diff
culy making safe landing. The police
patrol boats at once steered out in the bay
to assist the unfortunates. The crew
rescued about 80 occupants OF capsized
sail boats As far rs can be learned at
p. NJ, no one was drowned, but it is
probable that drownings have Occ urred.
Cyrus Edison, of the Health Board, was
among the rescued.
The Castle Garden transfer boat J. C.
Emmons had her awning and a number of
her stanchons carried away. The Rock
away steamboat Hazel Kirke lost all her
awnings, lot of camp stools and gang
planks. A panic ensued among the
crowd Of passengers, but was quickly
stopped. 1t was said that two sail
boats containing eight men were capsized
off Fort Hamilton, but no facts could be
learned. Passengers on the Staten Island
ferrybOat reported the matter. The
schooner Minnie Irving had narrow es-
cape. The crew, under Captain Thomas,
were preparing for voyage to Cape Rice.
In the cargo was quantity of baled bay
and $50 kegs Of powder. Lightning
struck a carboy OF vitriol on the
deck aud exploded it. The blazing
liquid flowed into the hold and
crept toward the powder aud hay. The
panic stricken crew took to boats leav-
ing Captain Thomas, his mate and
colored female cook on board. The
woman picked up the main hatch and
throwing it out jumped after it. She
kept afiOat and was picked up shortly
after. The crew in the boats, after a
